It works on Windows 10. Checked. It's probably down to the version of the editor that opens the chm help.

You need to get programmaticallythe amount of free funds needed to open 1 lot to buy in MQL5, analog of MQL4 "MarketInfo(symbf,MODE_MARGINREQUIRED);"

double min=SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_MARGIN_INITIAL);
Print("min=",min);

I get:

2016.11.03 17:52:36.266 период (EURUSD,D1)      min=0.0

What can it be?

Well, I can read too) Will it work in tester and even more so in optimization? It definitely doesn't work in the script, the author writes that it should be placed in the ontik, in the script it returns 1.0.

Unfortunately, MQL5 has no analogue of theMarketInfo(symbf,MODE_MARGINREQUIRED) property, but I don't remember exactly, this topic was already discussed in the forum somewhere
